Yahoo announced that it has created a more comprehensive and relevant search experience for users through the deployment of its own algorithmic search technology on Yahoo!(R) Search (http://search.yahoo.com). Starting today, the company will begin rolling out the new Yahoo! Search Technology (YST) and expects to continue the process on a worldwide basis over the next several weeks. With the completion of the deployment, Yahoo! Search Technology will power nearly half of all online searches in the U.S.
“Today’s announcement marks the beginning of a rapid succession of innovations from Yahoo! Search that will deliver against our mission of providing the highest quality search experience on the Web,” said Jeff Weiner, senior vice president, Yahoo! Search and Marketplace. “Within the next few weeks and months, consumers will continue to see improvements to Yahoo!’s search technology in addition to advancements in search personalization and other user features.”
Yahoo! Search is launching several innovative developments that integrate the company’s industry-leading services to improve overall search quality and the user experience.
As part of the company’s next steps in customization and personalization, Yahoo! is introducing a new search service that integrates Yahoo! Search with My Yahoo! by adding links to XML/RSS site syndication content in search results. This service enables users to search for millions of sites that support this format and easily add them to their My Yahoo! personal homepage. Once added to their page, users will see instantly updated headlines and links from these sites, keeping them in touch with all of their important information from the Internet in a single place.
For some odd reason, Search Engine Journal’s RSS Feed is not listed. Does anyone know who I contact about this? Please leave a comment:

You can get listed by adding the RSS Headlines beta component to your my.yahoo page (this site gave me instrutions in a previous article)and then manually adding the news feed you want by editing the content of the RSS component. Search Engine Journal should be included in the index because I subscribe via my.yahoo and this is how I come to read and comment to this article. In fact,this site ranks number three when you do a search for “search engine optimization” within the edit section of the RSS beta.

Cool, I wonder why the RSS link is not in the new Yahoo Search results next to the cache link then. Perhaps I should be more patient.
Thanks Dale!

You are right Alex….I have read an article stating they are not finished and will not be finished with the updates for a few more weeks.

you might try changing the <link> tag in your RSS file from http://www.searchenginejournal.com/index.php to just http://www.searchenginejournal.com/ and see what happens.
